Hello! A curious trainer here. I've got a few questions in my bag that I'd love to get answers to, so maybe you could help me?

- A quick note, the way that I have my questions set up groups a set of similar questions together. When answering, please let me know what section and what number the question is from (just to make things easier for everyone), such as:

A2: No, you can't do that lol

C6: These example answers are really bad

The list of questions is probably not complete soooo

When I get an answer to a question,  I will put the question in italics,  ​''' ​and with the answer in bold directly underneath it. '''

Ok that's all I had to say now onto the questions

Section A: Bob's Magik Pond

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">OK, I'm trying to collect all of the different skins of karp, and have a few questions regarding them.

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">1) Firstly, are there any available guides that display all of the karp skins/the rarity of the skins?

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">2) Will the PBB wiki ever decide to add a page dedicated to the above question? (If so, would there be any chance that a smol like me would be able to help collect data, or would that be someone else's job?)

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">3) Do any of the karp skins have differences in appearance depending on its gender?

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">4) Aside from Shiny Rayquaza karp, are any of the karp skins availble in a shiny form? (Guessing not)

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">5) Does anyone know for certain that using the good rod vs the old rod affects the appearance rates of certain karp?

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">6) Does standing in different places affect the appearance rates of certain karp? Say closer to the waterfall vs the entrance of the pond (Guessing not)

<p style="margin:5.2px0px6.53px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">Section B: Safari Zone

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">1) Where might I find a machop/machoke/machamp that will be able to help me to pull out Master Sword Honedge?

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">2) If I were to breed a mon with a skin, would there be any chances of the offspring having the same skin? (Guessing not)

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">3) Would it be at all worth trying to EV train a mon w/ a skin, even if it has bad IV's or a bad nature? I have a pink Rhyhorn of my own that I'd love to use competitively (mostly just for show), but if the nature/IVs drag it down too much, then is it even worth trying to EV train it? :(

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">4) Can anyone show me what Aku Aku Bellossom looks like? I've seen Aku Aku Vileplume but not the other evolution.

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">5) Would an obtainable berry inside the Safari Zone have any effect outside of it? Say, I give a Pinap berry to an Eevee, what would happen?

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">6) Would an obtainable berry outside the Safari Zone have any effect on potentially captivating a Safari mon? Say, if I threw a Cheri berry to a Morelull, would I have made a bad decision?

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">7) What does the flavor of the berry have to do with anything? Do certain Pokemon prefer certain berries?

<p style="margin:5.2px0px6.53px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">Section C: Shinies and stuff

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">1) From what I understand, combining the Shiny Charm and the shiny increase RO Power turns your chances of finding a shiny from 1/14096 to 1/128, right?

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">2) If I were to only be able to purchase one shiny increase RO Power, (the RO Power would have it's multiplier combined w/ the Shiny Charm) what would be the best use for it? Would soft resetting for a shiny Diancie be the best option, trying to hatch a shiny, or running around Route 7 or something and hoping I find a shiny? (A list of these three from best use of robux to worst use of robux would be nice)

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">3) If the shiny has a bad nature/IV's, would it be worth trying to raise it to be competitive?

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">4) If I were to combine the RO Power with the Shiny Charm in hopes of hatching a shiny, how many boxes of eggs would be ideal to have before activating the RO Power?

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">4) If I were to just have the Shiny Charm in hopes of hatching a shiny, how many boxes of eggs would be ideal to have before going on a hatching spree?

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">5) Are there any cases where going into the wild in hopes of finding a shiny would be more efficent than hatching for a shiny? (For instance, would it be better to go hunt in the wild for a shiny Deino rather than trying to hatch one?)

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">6) If I only try to use a Shiny Charm to try and hatch a shiny (given that I have the suggested amount of boxes of eggs beforehand), how long could it take to strike gold?

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">7) Would it be better if I started small with hatching shinies? (Aka, would it be easier on me if I were to start my shiny hatching career by going for a Pokemon that hatches in a lower amount of steps?)

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">8) If I were to continuously soft reset to try and hatch a single egg (Such as Togepi or the lake guardians), would there be any chance of a shiny coming out of it?

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">9) Can any of the lake guardians breed? (Guessing not)

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">(I have yet to come up with more questions, but when/if I do, so long as they don't relate to any above sections, I'll put them here. Given that they don't need a section of their own, that is.)

<p style="margin:13px0px;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline;"><span lang="EN" style="margin:0px;color:rgb(58,58,58);font-family:"&quot","serif";font-size:10pt;">Thanks for the help! :)
